I'm going on a mission but where?

Well Sunday I submitted my Mission Papers. So in about 10 days I should receive my call and will be able to tell you all where I'm going. It's been one hell of a journey to get here. Between crazy stalker chicks and cheating girlfriends. Bad decisions and really good ones. Running out of money then making it back. Long nights and 3 jobs. I've finally put the papers in. I'm super excited to find out where I'm going. Now the game starts. If you would like to guess where I will be sent I have attached a world map so you can get ideas. Please look at the map and then leave a comment with your guess.

Morality test

TEST OF MORALITY

The One (1) Question Test.

This
test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an
honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test
features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will
have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest,
yet spontaneous.


Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

THE SITUATION:

You
are in Florida , Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you
caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical
proportions. You are photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and
you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is
nearly hopeless.


You're trying to shoot
career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you,
some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its
destructive fury.

==========================================
THE TEST:

Suddenly
you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their
lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer.
Somehow they look familiar. You suddenly realize who they are. It's
Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take
them under forever. You have two options: You can save their lives or
you can shoot a dramatic
Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world's most powerful people.
==========================================



THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Media under terrorism

I just recently watched an episode of "South Park" called cartoon wars. It's a funny episode and definitely recommend it. But the reason I write about it isn't because I think it's funny. The actual reason is that the episode points out a very true point in America today. The plot of the episode is that Cartman is trying to get the show "Family Guy" banned because he hates being compared to it, but he uses the excuse that he is trying to get it banned because "Family Guy" is going to show a cartoon representation of the prophet Muhammad. The reason, in the episode, is that showing the prophet Muhammad will result in terrorist attacks on the US. As the story progress Cartman tries to get "Family Guy" banned and Kyle tries to stop Cartman under the grounds of free speech. In the end Kyle wins and the family guy episodes airs. The episode is shown but right before Muhammad is shown a black screen appears saying, "Comedy Central refuses to show Muhammad in light of recent events." Now I believe that censorship is required every now and then but only when it is on are terms. This right here shows that the US has fallen under terrorist control. Terrorism is by definition the act to instill fear in a people and use this fear to control them. America is being controlled by terrorists. When we give up our freedoms for convience or safety we are loosing are rights. Regardless of the reason, loosing rights is loosing rights.
